Saturday Adventures

Another shot of the Rock Pool

We had a splendid day!!! We got up and headed out into town where we ate brekkie at the Rock Pool restaurant off The Strand. Lots of folks swimming, lounging, bbq’ing and just generally enjoying a perfect day outside. We walked around a bit after we ate and watched some lifeguard lessons (we think) and just totally enjoyed the beautiful day. We then headed north of the city to the Pallarenda Cove area and found some places to explore a little bit more. They do kiteboarding there because of the calmer surf and we saw several out but didn’t stop to take in the sights today much. We will save that for another day. We did stop and hike a bit through a couple areas and there were tons of trails and beach areas that we will go back to later. I was glad to get out in the fresh air a bit and enjoy some time with Chris —–I know he is usually pretty tired by Saturday so it was nice to do it at a leisurely pace today.
Now it is back to Saunders Beach for a nap and then a walk on the beach at low tide, grilling steaks on the barbie for dinner and maybe a little movie tonight! Life doesn’t get much better than this. More tomorrow!

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
